New York Ultimate Builder weather report: cold, rain and snow on the outside; hot custom bikes on the inside. The fifth round of the J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show series kicked off last Friday inside the Jacob Javits Center in New York City. The show was a real treat for enthusiasts with some of the most spectacular custom bikes seen on the circuit to date.

Free Style George Stinsman built a custom bike for his client who said that he couldn’t ride it because it was just too nice a bike to ride. So Stinsman built him one to ride. The ‘Hate Tank’ is a 2014 Chaos Cycle classic bobber that features an 80” Shovel and paint by Chris Mauro. And what did his customer say after the bike won Ultimate Builder in NY? “Great, now I have two bikes I can’t ride!”
